Hi All:
Does anyone have any contacts/background information about this group? I'm in the process of applying for a 2009 fellowship...but any information that I can get first-person would be wicked helpful. The information I've been able to glean thus far has been a bit inconsistent (to say the least).

from teachnola.org:
"teachNOLA Teaching Fellows seeks the nation's most outstanding mid-career professionals and recent college graduates to significantly impact education by teaching in New Orleans public schools...This is a critical time for New Orleans and a potential watershed moment for public education in the United States. The reconfiguration of the city's schools following Hurricane Katrina provides a historic opportunity to transform one of the nation's lowest performing school systems."

Thanks!

Hey NN
I am in the process of applying for what is termed the mid-year cohort position. Application deadline is the 23rd of this month for that. I have been through the process a couple of times-accepted to interview but couldn't due to various reasons. Shoot me an email at gratefulparrothead AT hotmail COM. I can give you some specific info but it is rather lengthy. I highly encourage anyone that is able to do it to participate.

Good luck Nola!!!
